Enriching ExperiencesNourish curiosity and expand connections to yourself, your loved ones, and the land. Spend days hiking redwood forests, cooking a new recipe with your favorite people, or exploring orchard-covered hillsides. Every experience is intimate, tactile, and designed to leave you feeling more grounded than when you arrived—you might just learn a little something, too.
Discover the bounty of McEvoy Ranch on an intimate Ranch Cart Tour—tumbler of rosé in hand—as you take in the sights. Perfect for groups of 2-5 guests, this 75-minute guided experience begins at the Frantoio (olive oil mill) then takes guests through the orchards to the Long Barn, Goat Barn and picturesque Upper Ranch. The tour concludes with a tasting of McEvoy’s estate-produced olive oils and culinary creations.
